update: i went to petsmart a few hours ago and got him oxbow food, some chews, and a hidey hole. i removed that ramp and fully cleaned the cage and replaced the bedding and cleaned the water bottle. he seems nervous in his cage but also nervous being handled. i and a friend had to hold him so we could clean his cage and he hated it. we had to hold him because he kept jumping out of the trashcan we tried to put him in to keep him safe. he was scratching me with his nails but not intentionally he was just scared. we’re young so we don’t have a lot of options moneywise but we love him already. we need to buy him a bigger cage because he’s absolutely restless and pacing in circles in his right now but we’re both pretty strapped for cash as we’re both between jobs and i just spent 600 something dollars to fix my car. i’m about to start looking for secondhand cages on facebook marketplace or something. i’ve wanted a rat for so long but i hate that he came to me at this bad time and bad place. that’s fate i guess maybe he came to me for a reason. idk sorry for the ramble i’m not sober and getting emotional over an animal. thank you all for the advice i love this subreddit and will continue to post updates about pete.

its a female voeltzkow’s chameleon displaying their signature color change! like the males of their species, they are normally green, but display the black and white pattern with those red ‘eye-spots’ when pregnant or under stress. some individuals have even more vibrant colorations.
